Changing the material type

[Former Member]

We want to change the material type from ROH to HAWA. But the account category ref and the quantity/ value updating is different for them. Can we not change this material type ?

The system is showing the below message:

Purchase orders exist (see below).

The two material types have either different quantity/value updating or

a different account category reference.

    PO number      Item

    4XXXXXX        010

When I try to delete this line item from the PO, it gives the below message:

Invoices pending for delivery costs (function not possible)

     Message no. 06119

Please help me what to do here ?

Hi,

Reverse the preceding documents like GR/GI or outbound delievery for the open P.O's and then mark for deletion.

Also, make sure that there should not any stock for the material while changing the material type. If you have any stock, you can issue to a dummy cost center, once the material type is changed you can reverse the document (stock issued to dummy cost center).

Hi

Reason for getting message "Invoices pending for delivery costs (function not possible)" could be below -

GR is posted against PO

Invoice Parking is done

here you need to either reverse GR document or Post pending Invoices (freight )

Please make sure that the stocks should not exist while changing to the new material type...you can do it in MMAM txn...
